Mark Rylance: Being Saturn

by Christina • February 22, 2015

Lush with satin and velvet, beautifully lit by candles and England’s cool northern daylight, the TV adaptation of Wolf Hall is as enthralling as the book. At the centre of the bedizened, voluptuous court of Henry VIII, there is a still, dark point, Thomas Cromwell. For more on the story and why — astrologically speaking — it has had such an impact on the collective imagination, read my piece about the novel here. Mark Rylance is mesmerising as Cromwell — still, watchful, intelligent. Of course, he is beautifully directed, and supported by an outstanding cast, notably Damian Lewis as the king (epitomsing Cancer Sun/Aries Moon), and Clare […]

The Mighty Pen, Symbol of Reason

by Christina • January 12, 2015

Twelve people at the offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo were gunned down on January 7. In the same week, Saudi blogger Raif Badawi received the first 50 lashes of his 1000-lash sentence for blasphemy, ironically, an echo of the Charlie Hebdo cover that caused such offense in 2011 — “1000 lashes if you don’t die laughing”. Not to mention the on-going incarceration of Palestinian poet Ashraf Fayad in Saudi also, for blasphemous verses. Islamofascism (still apparently a contested term, but loosely defined as a political ideology based on Islam) has been gaining in strength for decades, but its […]

January Horoscopes: Riding The Bear

by Christina • December 31, 2014

The White Bear said: “Are you afraid?” “No, that I am not,” said she. “Keep tight hold of my fur, and then there is no danger,” said he. And thus she rode far, far away, until they came to a great mountain. Then the White Bear knocked on it, and a door opened, and they went into a castle where there were many brilliantly lighted rooms which shone with gold and silver… You may have read a fairy tale called East of the Sun and West of the Moon in which the beautiful girl is sold by her father […]

What Did Saturn Do In Scorpio?

by Christina • December 4, 2014

Only three weeks until Saturn turns his back on Scorpio. But this last sprint to the finish will see Saturn making some last ditch changes to the Scorpionic chapter. It’s been quite a transit. Saturn’s been there since 2012. And it does seem to have had some powerful effects on the collective. This may well have been emphasised by the mutual reception between Saturn in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn during this period. Pluto rules Scorpio and Saturn rules Capricorn, you see, so during this transit these two uncompromising planets were working together. What is more during the first part of […]

November Monthly Horoscopes

by Christina • October 31, 2014

Some fiery surprises lurk in the heart of sombre November. I won’t say any more than that. You need to read your Sun sign and your Rising sign. To get your horoscope click here. This month’s horoscope page is an homage to Hilma af Klint (b. October 26, 1844), the Swedish artist, mystic and anthoposophist. These works came out of her communications with spirit guides. Astrology was part of her mystical understanding of the cosmos. With special thanks to Maija (I think it was you but the story has vanished from the feed!) for telling me about her.

Virgins, Black Power, African Liberation…

by Christina • October 2, 2014

The month of Virgo was beautiful here, one warm soft day follows another. But the weather was also strange and unseasonable. The nights draw in but the days are as warm as summer. It’s dreamlike. Being deep in the dream of Virgo this year — with the help of an opposition from Neptune in Pisces perhaps — I understood the sign in a new way*, and this, in turn has brought on some thoughts about our on-going aspect between Uranus and Pluto. Here’s a rather Neptunian train of thought. In ancient times, virgin was less a description of a woman’s sexual experience than a description of her social status. When […]

Washington Gridlock 2014 and the Stations of Jupiter

by Jude Cowell

Well, quarrels and gridlock continue in our nation’s capital as 2014 rolls along toward Spring. Astrological Jupiter, the *banking and financial planet of large proportions and (usually) generosity, remains in retrograde until its Direct Station of March 6, 2014 when it seems to pause at 10Cancer26, in the 5th house of
